Projectil Hitbox size's (width) table

[SchWiniX-2357]

To reduce the misinformation spread in the Forum and other places here is a table of all projectile sizes (width/Diameter).
I used the Workshop (code: 7QW6W) to measure them and they should be relatively accurate within ± 0.01m (10mm).

Hero	Ability	Ability Typ	Size in [Meter]	Clip
Ana	Sleep Dart	Ability	0,4m
Ana	Biotic Grenade	Ability	0,4m
Ashe	Dynamite	Ability	0,0m
Baptiste	Biotic Launcher	Secondary Fire	0,0m
Bastion	Configuration: Tank	Ult	0,6m
Brigitte	Whip Shot	Ability	0,0m
D.Va	Light Gun	Pilot	0,5m
Genji	Shuriken	Primary Fire	0,2m
Hanzo	All	-	0,2m
Roadhog	Scrap Gun	Secondary Fire	0,0m
Roadhog	Chain Hook	Ability	0,0m
Junkrat	Frag Launcher	Primary Fire	0,4m
Junkrat	Concussion Mine	Ability	0,4m
Lucio	Sonic Amplifier	Primary Fire	0,3m
Mei	Endothermic Blaster	Secondary Fire	0,3m
Mercy	Caduceus Blaster	Primary Fire	0,5m
Pharah	Rocket Launcher	Primary Fire	0,4m
Pharah	Concussive Blast	Ability	0,0m
Reinhardt	Fire Strike	Ability	1,7m
Sigma	Hyperspheres	Primary Fire	0,4m
Sigma	Accretion	Ability	1,8m
Soldier	Helix Rockets	Ability	0,4m
Symmetra	Photon Projector	Primary Fire	0,4m
Symmetra	Photon Projector [Full]	Secondary Fire	1,0m
Torbjörn	Rivet Gun	Primary Fire	0,2m
Torbjörn	Molten Core	Ult	0,4m
Tracer	Pulse Bomb	Ult	0,4m
Widowmaker	Venom Mine	Ability	0,4m
Zarya	Particle Cannon	Primary Fire	0,3m
Zarya	Particle Cannon	Secondary Fire	0,4m
Zarya	Graviton Surge	Ult	0,4m
Zenyatta	Orb of Destruction	Primary Fire	0,3m

Special mention
McCree	Deadeye	Ult	0,02m
Reaper	Death Blossom	Ult	0,02m
Reinhardt	Earthshatter	Ult	0,14m
Soldier	Tactical Visor	Ult	0,02m

The Special mention are not really projectiles but they are still Interesting.

If there are any mistakes or Somethings that got forgotten feedback is Welcome.

Edit:
So as many of you pointed correctly out sym/Zarya’ and Junk’s Projectile where given in patchnots 0.15/0.15 and 0.2 in the same order however I and my friends can’t find a mistake in the test so:

@SchWiniX-2357

I also want to remind people that the dev team sometimes has weird/confusing ways to measure thing in the game (for example EMP casttime or Hanzos projectile speed) to support this here are to thing to note:

• If Zarya’s and Syms beam where the same width they should also be in this test even if there is a mistake
• Both also give constant results of 0.4m(hit) 0.41m(don’t hit) / 0.3/0.31 like almost all others. Which seems like a bis much of a coincidence.

For Hanzo’s Projectile Lenght

@SchWiniX-2357

Interesting for you guys (and girls) to probably
I just sat down and managed to do it with alot less pain then I thought. (Sorry spend the last do days happy like a kid at christmass in the PTR xD)
To keep it short Hanzo’s Arror hitbox is a ball with the Diameter of 0.2m (200mm)

So we can say with confidence Hanzo is probably the only bow user that shoots Footballs around

(Tho alot of the other Heroes throw even bigger things around)

WS Code: G1230
Clip:

Hanzo Arrow Hitbox Lenght

Math: The Rein’s are 5m apart the first one needs to walk (Teleport) 1.67m till the Arrow hits the Second Reinhard has to walk (Teleport) 3.12m till the Arrow hits to the math is as follows: 5m-1.67m-3.12m = 0.21m
If we round this number the same as we do in the main post we land at:
0.2m.

Edit3:

@opak-21652

Btw the Devs might using radius and not diameters, and therefore it just half of your measurement dimensions?

@opak-21652

From the last nerf she got in August 2019, it has been stated her Beam width is now always 0.15, which is scale perfectly if it’s 0.3 in diameters.

And if you are talking about the right click, I don’t think they ever mentioned it, might be wrong tho.

Oh and btw the Sym beam width is officially 0.2 and not 0.15 as mentioned before(the live version tuned down the nerfs), which is also fit perfectly to 0.4 in diameters.

So it’s pretty much confirm it, they are using radius as measurement.

Only version of the live Patchnotes I could find.

Edit4:
Here is a new proove that this Table is probably fairly accurate:

Hanzo's Arrows' Hitboxes needs nerf in Size

Despite the memes to the contrary, Hanzo’s arrows aren’t actually all that big. They are tied for the smallest projectile in the game with a couple other things, sich as Genji’s shurikens. For example, Mercy and D.Va pilot weapons are 2.5x bigger than Hanzo arrows.

0.2*2.5=0.5

[Snowflake-22142]

I don’t think projectile size is a huge issue… Bigger one is how their slow travel makes them stay in headshot zone longer.

[Pacifist-21712]

I wouldn’t say using shields is accurate, since Symmetra is able to send fully charged orbs through very tight gaps, but I appreciate the effort and admire you for using the only available source.

[Deykar-2772]

Sleep dart is actually twice the size of an Hanzo arrow. Who would have thought?

[Matsy-21502]

But you also need to take into account player models, the hitbox goes quite a ways outside the actual model, even for hitscans.

[SchWiniX-2357]

I don’t seem to Quite understand.
All normal Projectiles hit the same player only once regardless of how slow they are the dmg is counted to the first hitbox they hit as far as I know.
So there speed should only make it harder or less hard to predict where it lands.
and not impact how how accurate you need to be.

With Shields, I can accurately tell the DMG hitbox their coalition hitbox could be a different size.

That was quite a surprise yea.

But you also need to take into account player models, the hitbox goes quite a ways outside the actual model, even for hitscans.

This post is only about the Projectile Hitboxes meaning all Hitboxes that overlap with the Projectile hitboxes are effected with whatever the Projectile does.

Player hitboxes are of course also there but there a separate topic.

Hitscan hit as long as the Crosshair is on the player hit box if there even a 1 mm off for example they wouldn’t hit anymore

[Lotto-21321]

Nice work there SchWiniX! easy to read table and included video evidence, perfect.
though its kind of hard to see the difference on moira primary fire (heal).

here is a post on reddit someone made (not me) showing hitbox size comparison for those who are curious about that as well:

|Moira|Biotic Grasp|Secondary Fire|0,0m

The way you measured is flawed. Clearly Moira’s right click has a massive hit box, but it’s also single target and will only hit the closest to the crosshair. You need to measure how far off of that target’s hit box you still register a hit when that is the only viable target. I don’t know if this would apply to any others, as Moira’s is different than most.

[SchWiniX-2357]

Your Right both Moira’s Heal and DMG don’t really belong here cause both are more LoS based. Her DMG ability is way too unique So I will take them out. The rest however should all be accurate.

[opak-21652]

Damm, i just in the past few days looked endlessly for a workshop mode to measure the heroes projectiles size. Excellent job!

[CornerEngy-21424]

Yet, it still misses most of the time even when aimed perfectly… HMMM

[Todd-12469]

Admit it, who else opened this post and immediately looked for Hanzo?

[jvilla225-1904]

Just so those same people get angered even more because “HANZO SHOOT LOGSSSS”

[retspmud-1944]

this doesn’t take into account that abilities have different hitboxes when hitting barriers, actual walls and hero hitboxes.
symmetra’s secondary fire for example can be squeezed through tiny cracks despite being massive

[Boshy-11500]

Now I can confirm that Hanzo players are laggers

Also to OP: Junkrat’s grenade is 0.2m as per the patch notes that reduced its size.

[Wabba-11628]

Zarya Particle Cannon Primary Fire 0,3m
Symmetra Photon Projector Primary Fire 0,4m
Junkrat Frag Launcher Primary Fire 0,4m

I question the accuracy of this post, since I know for a fact the sizes of these weapons have been mentioned in patch notes.

I thought Junkrat’s was 0.2, Zarya’s was 0.15 and Sym’s was 0.2?

Not sure if those were the exact numbers but I know they’ve been mentioned in official dev posts.

[XellOs-11913]

Now I can confirm that Hanzo players are laggers

This is the other explanation. I can be clearly behind cover by 1m and get killed by Hanzo.

[TheCheese-1550]

Literally everyone who’s ever eaten a sleepdart that clearly missed your entire character model.

[Uperior-1197]

This is pin point

Hanzo’s arrows feel like “logs” because the length of the actual hitbox of the arrow

You can pretty much walk into the end hitbox of a Hanzo arrow, and it will be seen to the server as a “hit” because the hitboxes are colliding. It’s why it will look like the Hanzo arrow will bend or twist in the air to hit you; the longer portion of the hitbox is hitting yours, so the game animates it too look like the front of the arrow hits you, rather than the shaft portion
